Comments: Please be careful walking around in this gully, especially if people are on routes lower down. A party up on the ledge below Vasodilator knocked a huge block down, which was funneled right towards my belayer. Thank you to the guy who jumped in front of it. Hope your leg is doing better.

Comments: Link it into the roof above for a fun full-value pitch! Might want to rig a tension rap to save your rope though... anyone know what that upper roof pitch is? is it P2 of this or another name? thanks!

Comments: I thought the gear was a bit jingus at the start, which also felt like the technical crux. Maybe anchor in your belayer....

Comments: One rope is all you need for the raps.

Comments: Heads up: The weight of two ropes + the angle of the rap rings at the top might make it a wee bit difficult to pull them down if you don't switch to another rap station on the way down. I had to leave the ropes for a later retrieval. (And no, I wasn't pulling the wrong side of the rope.)

Comments: Has anyone climbed the route under the giant roof between Dike Wall and West Butress? The one route that goes under the roof is called "Bad Girls Dream" and according to the new guide book, it's a 10a. It's the only 5.10 in the canyon I have not been able to climb. (Had to downclimb it, not easy in a horizontal roof.) Does anyone know if the 10a rating in the new GB is an error, or have any general info about this line?

Comments: Did this with Brian today. First of all, awesome climb. It seems to me that everyone has a different experience on this climb. I found the crux of the route for me to be the hand crack leaving the large detached "eagle's nest" flake. However, I suck at all kinds of crack except for my specialty.... thin tips. The thin overhang was one move of 5.10a followed by a decent rest to a strange stemming/manteling sequence that just felt a little balancey.
The second pitch was super exciting. I placed a... more >>

Comments: Great route! P2 was my favorite, but I found the crux in the first pitch easier than some parts of the sustained hand cracks on P3. Loads of fun none the less.

Comments: One star: Overbolted, goes to nowhere, snore.
(This comment and rating is to provide a counterweight to the excessively high star ratings above with which I most strongly disagree)
P.S. - The rap to the right IS more efficient and has the added benefit of not clogging the already frequently clogged route.

Comments: Climbed this yesterday- fun route, used a grey Alien in the seam/crack between the last bolt & the anchor. Enjoyed it quite a bit!
- *As of 17 Sep 09 there is/was an ACTIVE wasp nest very close to the 7th/last bolt...BEWARE!**

Comments: Funny how climbing a route more than once changes your perspective. I climbed this route 3 times in a 2 week period to introduce a few new climbers to a multi-pitch outing. The first time I thought it was maybe a 5.9 for most of the route, but the crux on the third pitch felt to me around 5.10+. I was GRIPPED when pulling up to the top of the 3rd pitch belay ledge on lead. Climbed it again a few days later and was digging the MP.com rating over the sport and adventure climbing guidebook, b... more >>
